Not the force of old and, although he retains some ability, others in this field have more pressing claims. |

12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

Multiple 5f winner down the years, including over C&D, but his powers appear to be on the wane; a couple of respectable efforts last month but more will be needed to win. |

Running well in defeat in recent months, including over C&D; should remain competitive but this is a step back up in class. |

3rd 4 (3) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |

Has seven wins on turf and is edging closer to another judged on his recent seconds at Bath and Nottingham; should go close. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Made a good return to turf when narrowly denied over 5f at Bath (good) 13 days ago; nudged back up 3lb but remains 1lb below the mark he defied on AW last autumn; needs considering. |

9st 0lb |
Her three wins have all come on AW and latest was off a similar mark on Tapeta at Southwell (5f) last January; returns after 219 days off but she has won when fresh in the past and needs a close look in the market. |

4th Mar 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has gained last three wins at classified level, the most recent over C&D in January; poor strike-rate in handicaps but holds place claims on plenty of form; best to forgive latest effort. |
14/1 |

10th 10 (10) |
27th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

17th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Four-time winner; winless this year but he's been running well for the most part and didn't get the best of runs when fifth of ten at Nottingham (5f) last time; shortlisted. |
8/1 |
|
5th 10 (2) |
10th May 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Triple Tapeta winner who is still lightly raced on turf and was successful in this sphere (5f, soft) last spring; mixed record in his four runs this year but he was runner-up at Wolverhampton last time and has claims if he can back that up. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Chelmsford specialist who ran another sound race there on final start in March; only 1-17 on turf but has course form and this mark gives him a chance. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nine-time course winner, most recently over 6f off a 2lb lower mark early in the year; knocking on in years and lacks consistency these days but remains capable at this level. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Cracking 8yo who has won two Polytrack races in every season for the last five years; however, he finished behind Spendmore Lane and Ancient State at Lingfield recently and the return to Tapeta looks a negative. |
20/1 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prolific C&D winner, most recently when making all 54 days ago; a 3lb rise won't stop him if in the same form and he may not have to work too hard to lead; major player. |
5/2 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Got the better of the battle for the early lead when beating Beaumadier and Gogo Yubari here on January 14 and he would have strong claims if reproducing that form; he hasn't managed it in two subsequent starts but a full revival would be no surprise. |
